Rigveda Sam.hita_: Mandala 9

\Gved m{fl 9

Soma as electrum

The English translations of verses in Man.d.ala 9, are highlighted in brown-coloured font to indicate that Soma is meant for the gods; thus, gods in the Rigveda are an allegorical personification of the purification processes (of Soma), just as Soma is an a_pri deity, together with other materials and apparatus (ladles and vessels) employed in the yajn~a, accompanied by r.cas (or, agnis.t.oma).

If Soma is electrum and Indra is burning embers (such as charcoal, indha, used in a furnace), the yajn~a can be interpreted, at the material level, as a process of reduction (or, pavitram, purification), using ks.a_ra, of a metallic ore compound (ma_ks.ika_ or quartz or pyrites) to yield the shining metals: potable (pavama_na, rasa-- raso varjrah, cf. RV 9.048.03, i.e. rasa, vigorous as a thunderbolt) gold and silver (hiran.yam and rayi), after oxidising the baser metallic elements (in the unrefined pyrite ores) such as lead (na_ga or ahi or vr.tra) and copper (s'ulba).

Reducing agents include alkaline as well as combustible materials --vegetable and animal products-- such as: herbs (ks.a_ra), barley--grains and cooked pin.d.a, milk, curds, clarified butter, viands (animal fat), bones (used in cupellation processes, and for making crucibles, during the bronze-age), sheep's hair or wool (reminisced as golden fleece).

For e.g., Soma is described as parvata_ vr.dhah in a verse, that the pyrites are from the mountain slopes: 9.046.01 Begotten by the stones the flowing (Soma-juices) are effused for the banquet of the gods' active horses. [Begotten by the stones: or, growing on the mountain slopes].

The exchange value of gold and silver in Vedic times, is elaborated in metaphorical terms related to wealth and lineage: such as food, cattle, rain; progeny.

The vedi (altar) is the earth and as the agni (fire) raises towards the heaven, the poetic imagination of the r.s.is (priests) expands into realms of cosmological thoughts, unparalleled in recorded history of early human civilizations. Thus, at a cosmic level, the Rigveda raises profound philosophical questions which have been the fountain-head of Indian philosophical traditions.

In such a perspective, the entire Rigveda can be viewed as an allegory, the human quest for achieving material which has exchange value, in transcending the material level to realms of philosophical explorations, and in expanding the semantic and morphological limits of language to attain new insights into the very concept of 'meaning', using language, through metrical, chanted mantras, as a means of understanding the a_tman and the parama_tman, thereby, attaining svarga, or bliss.

All the su_ktas are thus, governed by a framework of four principal metaphors, rendered in scintillating, ecstatic, spiritual poetic resonance : word, prayer, gods, material well-being.

An epitomy of this framework may be seen from the following selections:

9.063.25 The brilliant purified Soma-juices are let fall amidst all praises.
9.063.27 The purified (juices) are poured forth from heaven and from the firmament upon the summit of the ground. [The summit of the ground: i.e., the raised place, the place of divine sacrifice, or yajn~a].

SOMA PROCESS

Adapted from Haug's notes from Sa_yan.a's commentary on Aitareya Bra_hman.a:
 

The adhvaryu takes the skin (carma or tvac) and puts on it the filaments or shoots of the Soma (am.s'u). He then takes two boards (adhis.avan.a), puts one on top of the Soma shoots, and beats them with the stones (gra_va_n.a). Then the Soma is put between the two boards, and water is poured on them from the vasati_vari_ pot. Soma is then shaken in the hota_ cup (camasa), wetted again with vasati_vari_ water and put on a stone. Grass is laid on them, and they are beaten so that the juice runs out. The juice is allowed to run into the trough (a_havani_ya), then strained through the cloth (pavitra or das'a_pavitra) which is held by the udgata_. The filtered soma is caught in another trough (pu_tabhr.t). Libations are poured from two kinds of vessels: grahas or saucers, and camasas or cups.

[Yajus. 26.25] 9.001.02 The all-beholding destroyer of ra_ks.asas has stepped upon his gold-smitten birthplace, united with the wooden cask. [Yajus. 26.26; variant ayohate dron.e for ayohatam drun.a; his gold-smitted birth-place: drun.a_ = a wooden cask (dron.akalas'a), or the planks of the Soma press; ayohatam = smitten with gold; or, fabricated by a carpenter with a metal tool; Bra_hman.a cited: hiran.yapa_n.ir abhis.unoti = golden-handed he presses out the Soma]. 9.001.03 Be the lavish giver of wealth, most bounteous, the destroyer of enemies; bestow on us the riches of the affluent. 9.001.04 Come with food to the sacrifice of the mighty gods, and bring to us strength and sustenance. 9.001.05 To you we come, O dropping (Soma); for you only is this our worship day by day, our prayers are to you, none other. 9.001.06 The daughter of the Sun purifies your gushing streams through the eternal outstretched hair. [The daughter of the Sun: s'raddha_ = faith; Va_jasneyi: 'Verily s'raddha_ is the daughter of the Sun, she purifies him'. The hair-sieve used for straining the Soma]. 9.001.07 The ten sister-fingers seize you in the sacrifice, on the final day (of the oblation). [pa_rye divi = sautye 'hani, on the day of the Soma effusion; in 6.026.01, this term is explained as pa_rye ahan, in the final day, or in the time of extremity]. 9.001.08 The fingers press the Soma, they squeeze it glittering like a water-skin; its juice becomes threefold, enemy-averting. [Its juice becomes threefold = tridha_tu = lit., in three places; or, as filling the three vessels, the dron.akalas'a, the a_havani_ya and the pu_tabhr.t]. 9.001.09 The inviolable kine mingle this fresh Soma with their milk for Indra to drink. 9.001.10 In the exhilaration of this draught the hero Indra smites all his enemies and bestows wealth (on his worshippers).

[rocate is read as, didyute in Sa_maveda; beautiful as a friend: mitro na = yatha_ sakha_]. 9.002.07 O Indu, by the power the busy voices are hallowed which adorn you as you drop for our exhilaration.  9.002.08 We ask you for exhilaration, you the giver of the highest world to your foe-crushing worshipper-- great are your praises.

[indrayuh = enjoyed by Indra]. 9.002.10 Indu, you are the giver of kine, of children, of horses, and of food; you are the primeval soul of the sacrifice.

[Tanu_napa_t = a name of Soma, abhyo ams'avo ja_yante tatah somo ja_yate, from the waters are born beams, from these is born Soma; hastens through the sky: that is, to the dron.akalas'a, according to the text, 'he takes a_grayan.a libation with two streams']. 9.005.03 The pure-flowing bright (Soma), the bounteous giver, worthy of all praise, shines forth in its might with the streams of water. 9.005.04 The bright golden-hued pure-flowing one rushes in its might, strewing the sacred grass in the sacrifice with its points towards the cast. 9.005.05 The bright golden doors, praised by the priests together with the Soma, rise up from the vast horizon. 9.005.06 The pure-flowing (Soma) longs for the fair-formed wide-reaching mighty Night and Dawn not yet visible. 9.005.07 I  invoke the two divine priests, the two deities who behold men-- the pure-flowing (Soma) is radiant and the showerer (of benefits). [The pure-flowing Soma is radiant: perhaps, an identification of Soma with Indra, just as in the next verse, Indu (i.e. Soma) is identified with Indra. 9.005.08 May the three beautiful goddesses, Bha_rati_, Sarasvati_, and mighty Il.a_, come to this our offering of the Soma. 9.005.09 I invoke Tvas.t.a_, the first-born, the protector, the leader; the golden-coloured pure-flowing Indu is Indra, the showerer, the lord of all creatures. 9.005.10 Pure Soma, consecrate with your streaming ambrosia the green bright golden-hued Vanaspati with its thousand branches. 9.005.11 O all ye gods, come together to the consecration of the Soma-- Va_yu, Br.haspati, Su_rya, Agni and Indra.

'as Indra', i.e., acting as sovereign]. 9.006.03 Rain out through the filter, while pressed that ancient exhilarating fluid, and pour us forth strength and food. 9.006.04 The quickly-falling drops, as they filter, follow Indra and reach him, like waters rushing down a declivity. 9.006.05 That which sporting in the wood and spurting beyond the sieve, the ten sisters press, as (men rub down) a strong horse. [The ten sisters: the ten fingers, as in RV 9.001.07]. 9.006.06 That desire-showring liquor, effused for the drink of the gods and for our exhilaration, mix with milk for prowess in battle. 9.006.07 The divine Soma, when effused, flows to the divine Indra in a stream, since its milk flattens him. [Flattens: pi_payat = fr. pyai (reduplicated form); or, pi = its milk swells]. 9.006.08 The soul of the sacrifice, the effused Soma, flows; with speed bringing blessings, and maintains his ancient seer-hood. 9.006.09 Most exciting (Soma), devoted to Indra, as you pour forth the exhilarating juice for his drinking, you emit sounds in the secret (hall of sacrifice). [You emit sounds: uparavas = round sounding holes, which are dug in the ground, and over which the two boards, used for pressing the Soma, are placed. These holes are said to deepen the sound of the stones with which the boards and Soma are beaten, during crushing; guha_ cid dadhis.e girah = you store praises in secret (Ka_tya_yana's Sutra 8.4.28].

[Do you impel him: ha_rdi = abhilas.itah; perhaps, ha_rdi = hr.dayam as in RV 8.079.08; the rendering: Soma, pure flowing, for Indra's gratification, do you stir his heart to sit in the place of sacrifice]. 9.008.04 The ten fingers strain you, the seven priests caress you, the worshippers gladden you.

Terms of relationship are used in the Veda often to imply material objects; e.g. 'sisters' are 'fingers. Here, the two boards are a reference to the two boards used in pressing the Soma; another interpretation is that they imply two hands; proceeds to the stones: vaya_m.si; alternative rendering: the seer is placed between the hands as a most dear banquet to heaven; the knower of the past (or the wise in sacrifice) goes forth effused]. 9.009.02 Go forth in a most abundant stream, ample for his sustenance, to the guileless man, your own, who praises you 9.009.03 That mighty and pure son, when born, illumines his mighty parents (heaven and earth), the progenitors (of all things), the augmenters of the sacrifice. [Alternative rendering: that pure son (the Soma) illumined his mothers, he the born, them too born, he the great, them the great, the augmenters of sacrifice]. 9.009.04 Effused by the fingers, (Soma) gladdens the seven guileless rivers, who have magnified him one and undecaying. [Seven guileless rivers: sapta is separated from dhi_tibhih and connected with nadyah; cf. RV 10.008.04]. 9.009.05 Indra, at your worship, they (the fingers) have provided the present, indestructible, and ever-youthful Indu, for your solemn service. 9.009.06 The immortal bearer (of the oblation), the conveyer (of content to the gods), beholds the seven rivers, full as a well, he has satisfied the divine streams. 9.009.07 Protect us, manly Soma, in the days of sacrifice purifier, destroy those powers of darkness against which we must contend. [In the days of sacrifice: kalpes.u = kalpaniyes.vahahsu, in the days which have to be reckoned; another interpretation: 'in our rites']. 9.009.08 Quickly speed on the road for our new praiseworthy hymn; as of old, display your radiance. 9.009.09 Purifier (Soma), you grant us abundant food with male off-spring, and cattle and horses; give us understanding, give us all (we desire).

[Vivasvat = Indra; a_pa_nasah  = a_pa_nabhu_tah; spread their sound: an.vam vitanvate = s'abdam kurvanti; elsewhere, an.va is explained as the small holes of the filter]. 9.010.06 The old makers of hymns, men the offerers of the Soma, throw open the doors (of the sacrifice). [dva_ra_ is taken with mati_na_m, the ancient poets throw open the doors of their hymns]. 9.010.07 The seven associated ministers like so many kinsmen filling the receptacle of the single (Soma), sit down (at the sacrifice). 9.010.08 I take into my navel the navel of the sacrifice, my becomes associated with the sun, I fill the offspring of the sage. [cf. RV 9.073.01; The navel of the sacrifice = Soma; offspring of the sage = graha or soma vessel called am.s'u; am.su may mean filament, read as am.s'am; my eye becomes associated with the Sun: 'Since we have drunk the Soma']. 9.010.09 The powerful (Indra) looks with the eye of his own resplendent self on the acceptable place of the Soma, fixed by the priests in the heart. [Indra views the Soma with affection even after it has been drunk by the priests. divas'caks.asa = di_ptasya_tmanas' caks.us.a; guha_ = hr.daye; another translation: 'The sun looks with his eye towards that beloved quarter of heaven, placed by the priests in the sacred cell'; div or dyuloka = dron.akalas'a or large soma trough. Thus, the sun looks towards the place where the Soma lies while it is pressed].

[Indu has embraced: Indu embraces the Soma which is a portion of himself-- the deity seems to be thus opposed to the mere Soma in its early forms]. 9.012.06 Indu emits a sound, abiding in the firmament of the sky, and delighting the nectar-shedding cloud.

[Placed in the cart: i.s., placed in the havirdha_na he is brought to the a_havani_ha]. 9.015.04 He tosses his horns as a bull, the lord of the herd, sharpens his, bearing treasures (for us) by his might. 9.015.05 He proceeds along impetuous with goldenbrilliant rays, the lord of streams. [Golden brilliant rays: rukmi_bhih may also be interpreted as: 'he proceeds along with the priests, vigorous with brilliant rays']. 9.015.06 Overpowering at the juncture of time the discomfited concealers (the ra_ks.asas), he descends upon those doomed to destruction. [Another reading (St. Petersburg Dictionary): 'at the juncture of time passing beyond the solid treasures (of heaven and earth), he descends upon the young Soma']. 9.015.07 The priests express into the vessels this juice which is to be purified, the bestower of abundant food. 9.015.08 The ten fingers, the seven priests, express this (juice), well-weaponed, and yielding great exhilaration. [Well-weaponed: sva_yudha is used to indicate that Soma has the power to slay the ra_ks.asas].

[The chants: ga_vah = gantryah stutayah; the reference may be to the cows as contributing their milk]. 9.026.03 They have elevated to heaven by their praise that creative purifying (Soma), the sustainer, the maker of many. [bhu_ridha_yasam = bahu_na_m karta_ram; it perhaps means, 'the nourisher of many']. 9.026.04 The worshippers have elevated by the fingers of their arms that unconquerable lord of praise abiding (in the vessels). 9.026.05 The sister-fingers in a raised place press out by the grinding stones that green-tinted (Soma), desirable and far-beholding. 9.026.06 The worshippers offer you to Indra, purifier, Indu, filled with praise and bestowing exhilaration.

[Into the wooden vessels: vanes.u = desirable; or, 'wooden' vessels, vanani_yes.u vanasam.bhu_ta druma vika_res.u va_ pa_tres.u]. 9.027.04 This Indu resounds as it drops, yearning to give us cattle and gold, the conqueror of foes, the irresistible.  9.027.05 This pure-flowing exhilarating Soma is abandoned by the sun in the filter, the sky. [The implication is that the sun seems to perform on a grand scale the same office of the diffusing Soma which the priests performed on a small scale in the filter, which is metaphorically called the sky. ha_sate = parityajyate; a rendering: this exhilarating Soma, as it drops on the filter, rises with the sun into the heavens]. 9.027.06 This powerful and purifying showerer (of benefits), the green-tinted Indu, flows through the firmament to Indra.

[ams'u may also be interpreted as metal-streaks in an ore block (Kalyan)]. 9.062.05 The cattle sweeten with their milk the beautiful food that is asked for by the gods; the Soma when effused by the priests is cleansed in the water. 9.062.06 Then the ministering priests in the assembly beautify the dice of exhilarating (Soma) like a horse, for the sake of immortality. 9.062.07 Sit down, Indu, on the filter with those streams the shedders of sweet (juice), which are let fall for our protection. 9.062.08 Passing obliquely through the sheep's hairs, hasten for Indra's drinking, sitting in your place in the wooden vessels. 9.062.09 Indu, who are most sweet-flavoured, the bestower of riches, drop for the An:girasas butter and milk. 9.062.10 This all-seeing Pavama_na Soma deposited (in the vessels), sending forth abundant (food), the product of the waters, is known (by all). 9.062.11 This Pavama_na Soma, the sprinkler (of benefits), engaged in sprinkling, the destroyer of ra_ks.asas, bestows riches upon the donor (of the oblation). 9.062.12 Pour forth thousand-fold wealth, together with cattle and horses, delighting many, desired by many. 9.062.13 This (Soma) the many-hymned, having wise designs being cleansed by the priests, is sprinkled forth. [Having wise designs: kavikratuh = kra_ntaprajn~ah kra_ntakarmo va_, possessing wisdom or possessing sacred rites; kavih = ka_ntah (cf. RV 9.064.30)]. 9.062.14 Offering thousand-fold protection, having hundred-fold wealth, the meawsurer of the world, the sage, the exhilarating (Soma) flows for Indra. 9.062.15 Generated and praised by song, Indu at this sacrifice is deposited in his place for Indra, like a bird on its nest. 9.062.16 The pure Soma effused by the priests rushes forth as if to battle, to alight vigorously upon the ladles. 9.062.17 They attach him by seven ceremonies to the three-backed three-benched chariot of the r.s.is to go to the gods. [Seven ceremonies: The back are the three oblations, the benches are the three vedas, and the ceremonies are the seven hymns, cha_ndas]. 9.062.18 Effused of the Soma, urge forward that wealth bestowing rapid vigorous steed to go to the battle. 9.062.19 Entering when effused into the pitcher bringing us all success like a hero, he stands among the cattle. [i.e. as a hero resolutely stands among the enemy's cattle, so the Soma resolutely stands among the sacrifices]. 9.062.20 The devout priests milk forth your sweet juice Indu, for the gods for the purpose of exhilaration. 9.062.21 Pour upon the filter for us for the sake of the gods the most sweet-flavoured Soma, most audible to the gods.  9.062.22 These lauded Soma juices are let flow for the sake of abundant food in a stream for the most exhilarating (juice). 9.062.23 Being purified you have the treasures of the kine to enjoy (them); flow forth you who grants food. 9.062.24 And have for us towards all widely renowned food with cattle, being hymned by Jamadagni. [Have for us: i.e., grant us]. 9.062.25 Soma, who are most excellent, flow with your marvellous protection towards our praises, towards all hymns (of praise). 9.062.26 Agitator of all, do you who are the most excellent raising your voice, pour forth the waters of the firmament. 9.062.27 O sage (Soma) in your might do these worlds stand; to you the rivers hasten. [i.e. these worlds honour you; the rivers observe your bidding]. 9.062.28 Your unconnected streams descend like the rian from heaven upon the white outspread (fleece). 9.062.29 Purify for Indra the fierce Indu, the means of strength, the lord (of wealth), the giver of riches. 9.062.30 The truthful seer, Pavamaa_na Soma, sits down upon the filter, giving great energy to the worshipper.

[Those two halves: dha_mani_ = pu_rva_dipaks.au, the first and second fortnights of the lunar month, the sides or halves of the month resembling in their increase and decrease the sides of a creeper, whose leaves alternate; or, na_ma_ni am.s'usoma_tmake, the two names (am.s'u and Soma); 'on earth under the name am.s'u by granting the desires of all mankind (Soma rules) this world; in heaven by giving the gods your lunar digits you are the winner of their affections. The gods drink the digits of the (moon) Soma by means of their growth and diminution one by one (i.e., as the moon waxes and wanes); dha_mani_ probably means the two abodes (or stations) of the Soma]. 9.066.03 Since your splendour abounds, you purified sage, Soma, are everywhere (associated) with the seasons. [i.e. Soma whose attributes are the seasons such as spring, exists wherever day and night spread; because day and night are dependent on the Soma (i.e., the moon)]. 9.066.04 Soma, who are a friend, do you for the sake of all our desirable (praises) approach generating food for (us your) friends for our support. 9.066.05 Soma, the shining rays of you who are accompanied by brilliance, spread the purifying (water) over the surface of heaven. [pr.s.t.ha = the lower part of heaven, i.e., the earth]. 9.066.06 These your seven rivers flow, Soma, at your command; the kine hasten to you. 9.066.07 Proceed, Soma, in a stream when effused, giving exhilaration to Indra, bestowing (upon us) inexhaustible food. 9.066.08 The seven kindred (priests) uttering (praises) and worshipping (the gods with oblations) invoked you the sage at the sacrifice with hymns. [Seven kindred priests: Or, the seven kindred rivers urge you with thei rfingers, i.e., send you forth to be cleansed by the vasati_vari_ and ekadhana_ waters]. 9.066.09 The fingers cleanse you in the quickly made loud-sounding (woollen) filter, when with a noise you are sprinkled with the water. [In the quickly-made filter: Or, in the filter which overcomes guilt]. 9.066.10 Sage Soma, possessor of food, your food-desiring streams when you are filtered are let loose like horses. 9.066.11 They are let loose in the woollen filter (to go) towards the honey-dropping vessel; our fingers have desired them. [i.e., our fingers desire the Soma juices in order to cleanse them again and again]. 9.066.12 The Soma-juices go to the ocean, as kine to their stall; they go the place of sacrifice. [To the ocean: the wooden vessel in which the Soma is collected]. 9.066.13 Indu, the flowing waters hasten to our great sacrifices when you are mixed with the curds and milk. 9.066.14 Indu, we abiding in your friendship, desiring to sacrifice, depending on your protection, desire your friendship. 9.066.15 Flow, Soma, for the mighty cattle-seeker, the beholder of men, enter Indra's belly. 9.066.16 Soma, you are great, most worthy to be praised; Indu, (you are) the most vigorous of the mighty; engaged in battle you ever triumph. 9.066.17 (You) who (are) mightier than the mighty, braver than the brave, more generous than the generous. 9.066.18 You, Soma, who are a hero (bestow) upon (us) food, (be) the giver of sons (to us); we choose you for your friendship, (we choose you) for your alliance. 9.066.19 Agni, you support our lives, send us nutriment and food, drive far off the ra_ks.asas. 9.066.20 Agni, the all-beholding, who is in the form of the Pavama_na, the benefactor of the five orders, the preceder at sacrifice; him we solicit, who is hymned by the great. [Five orders: four varn.as and the nis.a_da; or, the gandharvas, pitr.s, gods, asuras, and ra_ks.asas; or, the gods, mankind, gandharvas, apsarasas, serpents and pitr.s]. 9.066.21 Agni, who are the doer of good, pour upon us brightness and fair-offspring; may he make me wealth and plenty. 9.066.22 The purified (Soma) hastens past the adversaries towards the fair praise of the worshippers, visible to all like the sun. 9.066.23 Repeatedly purified by the priests, Indu, abounding with food, placed for food, the beholder of all continually goes (to the gods). [Continually goes to the gods: atyah = deva_n santatam ganta_ bhavati]. 9.066.24 The purified (Soma) generated the veracious all-pervading bright-shining light, destroying the black darkness. 9.066.25 The gladsome swift-moving streams of the purified, green-tinted, unfadingly radiant (Soma), the destroyer (of darkness), have been let forth. 9.066.26 The purified (Soma) possessing many chariots, most radiant with beauteous splendours, having green-tinted streams, attended by the Maruts. 9.066.27 May the purified Soma, the most liberal dispenser of food, pervade (the world) with his rays, granting excellent male offspring to the worshipper. 9.066.28 Indu when effused drops through the fleecy filter (into the vessel); being filtered Indu (enters) into Indra. 9.066.29 This Soma sports with the stones upon the cowhide, calling Indra for exhilaration. [i.e. then the priests by means of the Soma, perform Indra's praise]. 9.066.30 Purified (Soma),bless us with long life by means of that your nutritious milk which has been brought from heaven.

[Ma_taris'van = Va+yu, because it breathes in the atmosphere, antariks.e s'vasiti; the food is sweetened and purified by the purifying wind and the man eats it]. 9.067.32 For him who reads the hymns to Pavama_na, the essence (of the Veda) collected by the r.s.is, Sarasvati_ milks milk, ghee and exhilarating Soma. [Here follows a khila of 19 verses in praise of pavama_na hymns].

[His station: i.e., the uttara vedi_, the northern altar; it protects the head: s'irah = s'i_rn.am bhu_taja_tam (the withered world?)]. 9.068.05 The sage (Soma) is born with developed mind; having his place in the womb of the water, he is deposited (by the gods) by rule from far off; even when young these two were distinct; the birth (of one half) was placed in secret, the (other) half was visible. [This may refer to the fact that rain is caused by the sun, with which Soma is identified; the last part of the verse may refer to the sun, which appears in the daytime, and the moon, which appears at night]. 9.068.06 The wise (worshippers) know the form of the exhilarating Soma-juice, the food that the falcon brought from afar; they cleanse in the waters the fostering (Soma) delighting (the gods), flowing around, and deserving laudation. [The falcon brought from far: a bird in the form of ga_yatri_ brought it from heaven]. 9.068.07 The ten fingers cleanse you, Soma, when effused and placed in the vessels by the r.s.is, with praises, religious rites and woollen filters; and collected by the priests with oblations to the gods you bestow food (upon the worshippers) for a gift. 9.068.08 Intelligent praises celebrate the wide-flowing (god) delighting Soma who sits in good company, who exhilarating (falls) in a stream with his water from the sky (and) wealth-conquering, immortal, sends out his voice. 9.068.09 This Soma sends from heaven all water; bring filtered he settles in the vessels; effused with the stones, he is cleansed with water and milk; the filtered Indu bestow delightful wealth. 9.068.10 Soma offering (wealth) as soon as you are sprinkled (with the water and milk), pour various kinds of food (upon us); let us invoke the friendly heaven and earth; do you, O gods, grant us wealth with excellent male offspring.

[The fosterer: u_dhani = Indra, because he is the nourisher of everything]. 9.069.02 The praise is united (to Indra); the excellent (Soma) is sprinkled; (the Soma stream) emitting pleasant juice is driven into (Indra's) mouth; the filtered diffused exhilarating swift-flowing (Soma) hastens to the fleece like the arrow of the combatants. [Diffuses...arrow: santanih: as an adjective with somah, i.e. diffused in the ladles; as a noun, the arrow discharged (by the foe)]. 9.069.03 (Soma) seeking his spouse is filtered in the sheep-skin; he separates his grand-daughter on the earth for the sacrificer; green-tinted, adorable, collected (in the ladles), exhilarating, he overcomes (his foes); sharpening his vigour he shines like one of might. [His spouse: i.e., the herbs, naptih = naptr.h, i.e. the fourth generation. Praja_pati begets the gods; the gods beget the rain; the rain begets the herbs; Or, it means the offspring of Soma; Soma nourishes the herbs with his rays. Soma 'separates' the herbs at the lip to make them fruitful (Aitareya Bra_hman.a 2.1.3); r.tam ya_te = yajn~am gacchate, i.e., yajama_na_ya]. 9.069.04 The bull lows, the cows flow around him; the divine (praises) gather round the station of the radiant (Soma); Soma passes through the white sheep-skin; he clothes himself with it as it were a burnished armour.  [The first part of the verse praises Soma; Soma at the time of entering the wooden vessels makes a noise; the cows, the propitiating hymns of praise, gather round him; the hymns of praise approach the god's station. 9.069.05 The immortal green-tinted Soma when purified is arranged in an uncleaned shining vestment; he ahs created (A_ditya) who stands on the back of the sky for the destruction (of sin) and purification, (and has created) A_ditya's brilliance, the cover of the two worlds. [Shining vestment: i.e., the milk; A_ditya's brilliance: nabhasmayam = a_dityamayam a_dityasya svabhu_tam tejas]. 9.069.06 The rushing exhilarating foe-slaying Soma-juices when let loose flow together round the extended cloth like the sun's rays; they flow to no other person except Indra. 9.069.07 The exhilarating (Soma-juices) poured forth by the sprinklers effect their way to Indra as in a waterfall of a river the percvading (waters find their way) to dry ground; bless on our return our two-footed and four-footed things; may food and offspring ever abide with us. [By the sprinklers: Or, praised by the priests who give the Soma; On our return: nives'e = svagr.ham prati praves'ane nirgamane va_, on our entering our home or leavin git; dvipade, catus.pade are datives from -pad]. 9.069.08 Pour upon us (wealth) comprising treasure, gold, horses, cattle, barley, and excellent male offspring; you, Soma are my progenitors, the chiefs of heaven, placed (for sacrificial), the offerers of oblation. [You, Soma are...: Soma is treated as a plural by attraction; or, as the plurality of the pitr.s is applied to Soma]. 9.069.09 These filtered Soma-juices advance to Indra worthy of honour, as (Indra's) chariots advance to battle; expressed (with the stones) they pass through the woollen filter, casting off infirmity the horses go towards the rain. [To battle: sa_tim: an epithet of Indra, sarvaih sambhajani_yam; also, meaning 'battle, fr. so, to kill; casting off infirmity: casting off infirmity that pervades all their limbs, becoming youthful; vavr. from vr., that which covers the body; haritah = becoming the horses that bear the Sun]. 9.069.10 Indu, who do make (men) very happy, the blameless one, the destroyer of foes, flow for mighty Indra; bring to (me) your worshipper gratifying riches; heaven and earth, protect us with auspicious (riches).

[Thrice seven kine: may signify the 12 months, the 5 seasons, the 3 worlds and the sun; the four waters are the vasati_vari_ waters and the three ekadhana) waters (Taittiri_ya sam.hita_ 5.4.12.2)]. 9.070.02 He being solicited for auspicious ambrosia opens both heaven and earth by his intelligence, he covers the lustrious waters with his greatness, when (the priests) with the oblation recognize the station of the radiant (Soma). [Opens: i.e., fills them with water]. 9.070.03 May those his immortal, inviolable rays protect both classes of beings, wherewith he stimulates human (strength) and divine (food); thereupon praises reach the royal (Soma). [Both classes of beings: the movable and stationary or animate and inanimate creation; or, men and gods; 'the Soma fertilizes the plants at the sacrifice, and streams of men flow forth', the plants being part of the stationary (stha_vara) creation, and men belonging to the movable (jan:gama)]. 9.070.04 Cleansed by the ten well-working (fingers), the companion (of the waters) stands among the midmost mothers to measure (the worlds); the beholder of men protecting sacred rites (for the sake) of auspicious ambrosia looks after both races. [Among the midmost mothers: ma_tr.s.u; madhyama_su = placed in the atmosphere; look after both races: gods and men, i.e., 'men by granting them their desires, gods by bestowing oblations upon them']. 9.070.05 Being filtered for Indra's world-supporting strength, stationed in the midst of both worlds he goes (everywhere); the showerer destroys the evil-minded by his vigour, challenging the asuras like an archer. [Asuras: s'urudhah = s'uca_ rundhanti para_n, they avert painfrom others; s'arya_ha = haananasa_dhanair is.ubirhanta_ vi_rah; in RV. 67.16.39, s'arya = an enemy; s'arya = an arrow, pan.aih s'atru_n.a_m hanta_]. 9.070.06 He repeatedly beholding his parents (heaven and earth) proceeds with a loud noise, like cows (looking at their calves and lowing), and with a roar (like the troop) of Maruts; knowing that water to be the best which is good for all men, the intelligent (pavama_na) chose man to be the offerer of his praise. 9.070.07 The formidable showerer, the contemplator of all through desire for strength roars, sharpening his green-tinted horns; the Soma settles on his well-prepared station; the cowhide is his cleanser and the sheep-skin (too). [His green-tinted horns: i.e., the streams of the Soma juice]. 9.070.08 Brilliant cleansing his sinless body, the green-tinted (Soma) is placed on the high-placed fleece; sufficient for Mitra, Varun.a, and Va_yu the exhilarating (Soma) mixed with the three ingredients is prepared by the performers of good rites. [Sinless: Or, motionless, i.e., placed the vessel; the three ingredients: tridha_tu, three ores; or, water, curds, and milk]. 9.070.09 Flow Soma, the showerer, for the banquet for the gods; enter the Soma-vessel dear to Indra; bring us safe past the hostile (ra_ks.asas) before the oppress us; for he who knows the country tells the direction to him who asks (the way). [He who knows the country: 'as by telling him he protects (helps) him, so do you who know the roads of the sacrifice protect us by telling us the sacrificial paths']. 9.070.10 Hasten (to the vessel) as a horse when urged (hastens) to the battle; flow Indu into Indra's belly; all knowing (Soma) bear us (safe) across, as (boatmen bear people) across a river in a boat; fighting like a hero, defend us from the reviling (of the foe). [Bear us safe acrss: i.e., across dangers or evil spirits, durita_nyati_ya pa_raya].

[The all-sustaining water of the Sun: Or, taking nabhah as accusative, and payah as genitive, 'the firmament the supporter of the water'; the mighty Sun: Brahma is explained as 'the mighty uplifted one that destroys darkness, or the supreme sun; parivr.d.ham, as if deriving brahma from vr.m.h or br.m.h]. 9.071.02 The powerful (Soma) advances with a roar like a slayer of men; he puts forth that asura-slaying tint of his; he abandons bodily infirmity; the food goes to the prepared (altar); he assumes a form advancing to the outstretched (filter). [asura-slaying tint: i.e., green;or varn.am means 'protecting strength'; the food: i.e., the Soma; pituh = juice or food; tana_ = in the filter outstretched by the sheep-skin]. 9.071.03 Expressed with the stones by the hands (the Soma) flows; he moves like a bull; (worshipped) with praise he wanders through the firmament; he rejoices, he is embraced; (praised) with a hymn he fulfills (the desire of the worshippers), he is cleansed in the waters, he is honoured at the (god) protected (sacrifice). [Or, at the sacrifice which nourishes the gods by bestowing oblations on them]. 9.071.04 The powerful exhilarating Soma-juices besprinkle Indra who dwells in heaven, the augmenter of the clouds, the destroyer of the dwelling (of the foe); in whom on account of his greatness, the cows, the eaters of the oblations, mix the best (of their milk contained) in the uplifted udder. [The clouds: Or,mountains; inwhom: Indra is here regarded as soma pavama_na; varimabhih = urutvair mahattvaih]. 9.071.05 The ten fingers of the arms urge him near to the ground (of the sacrificial altar) like a chariot; he goes (to the vessels), he approaches the concealed (milk) of the cow when the praisers produce his resting place. 9.071.06 The shining (Soma) approaches the golden seat the station constructed by his holy rites, as a falcon (approaches) his nest; (the worshippers) send the well-beloved by their praise to the sacred grass; the adorable Soma proceeds to the gods like a horse. 9.071.07 Radiant, wise, flowing in separate streams, (the Soma descends) from the firmament; the shower offered at the three libations responds to the praises (of the worshippers); led in a thousand directions, coming and going, he shines at many a sunrise like one who sings praises (to the gods). 9.071.08 His ray creates a shining form; at whatever battle it is present, it beats down the adversaries; the giver of water goes with the oblation to the divine people, (it meets) with good praise; (Soma) is joined by (a hymn) demanding kine as the chief boon. [His ray: varn.a = from vr., keeping off, beating back; 'his ray repelling his foes']. 9.071.09 Like a bull approaching the herbs (Soma) roars (as he approaches the praises); he appropriates the lustre of the sun; celestial, flying gracefully he looks down upon the earth; by his wisdom Soma contemplates mankind. [Flying gracefully: suparn.ah = a hawk; supatanah, going gracefully, because it is carried off by ga_yatri_ in the shape of a hawk].

He utters a sound, (the worshippers) send forth praise; how many (boons) abundantly delightint the utterer of many praises (does Soma bestow). [Abundantly delighting: paripriyah = paritah pri_n.ayitr.n.i]. 9.072.02 Many wise men utter praise together, when they have milked the Soma into Indra's belly, when fair-armed men cleanse the delightful exhilarating juice with their ten united (fingers). [Indra's belly: i.e., the dron.akalas'a; with their ten united fingers: sanilabhih = lit., having one nest (nida); sani_l.a = sama_nastha_na, sama_naniva_sa]. 9.072.03 Unceasing, the Soma goes to mix with the products of the kine, he utters a cry dear to the daughter of the sun. The praiser brings delight to him; he is united to the two kindred sisters (the hands). [The daughter of the sun: i.e., the dawn, beacause, at that time the noise of the effusion of the Soma is great; the praiser: vinam.gr.sah = kamani_yam stotram gr.hn.a_ti_ti; arm]. 9.072.04 Shaken by the men, expressed by the stones, the delight (of the gods), the lord of cattle, ancient, distilling (in the vessels) born in due season, (the Soma is placed) on the sacrd grass; intelligent, the material of the sacrifice of man, pure, the Soma flows for you, Indra,of his own accord. 9.072.05 Urged by the arms of men, poured forth in a stream the Soma flows for you, Indra, for strength; you accomplish the rites, you overcome enemies at the sacrifice; the green-tinted Soma rests upon the cups like a bird perching on a tree. [For strength: Or, for the sake of food; enemies: matih = abhima_na_n s'atru_n]. 9.072.06 The seers, the experienced performers of holy acts, milk forth the seer, the loud-sounding undecaying Soma; the regenerated cattle and the praises combined repair to him at the place of birth of the sacrifice. [The place of birth of the sacrifice: i.e., the northern altar]. 9.072.07 The supporter of the vast heaven, (placed) upon the navel of the earth, moistened among the rivers in the wave of the waters, the thunderbolt of Indra, the showerer (of benefits), the possessor of wealth, Soma auspiciously exhilarating distils into (Indra's) heart. 9.072.08 Performer of good deeds, flow quickly round the terrestrial region, giving (riches) to the worshipper and the shaker (of the libation); do not deprive us of the wealth that enriches our dwellings; may we be invested with abundant wealth of diverse kinds. [The shaker of the libation: a_dhu_nvate = making the a_dha_vana (shaking) with the three filaments of the Soma, after the ada_bhya libation]. 9.072.09 On Indu, bring us quickly (wealth) with a hundred gifts, with horses, with a thousand gifts, with cattle and with gold; measure unto us abundant riches and food; come, purified one, to (hear) our praise.

The powerful (Soma) has made the three exalted worlds for the use (of men and gods); the ships of the truthful (Soma) satisfy the pious worshipper. [On the jaw of the sacrifice: srave = the plank of the Soma press, adhis.avan.a phalaka, which is the jaw of the sacrifice; the ships: i.e., the four pots for the a_ditya, a_grayan.a, ukthya and dhruva libations. 9.073.02 The mighty (priests) assembled together send forth (the Soma) together; desirous (of heaven) they drive it to the wave of the river; generating praise they nourish the previous body of Indra with the streams of the exhilarating Soma. 9.073.03 (The rays of the Soma) having the means of purification sit round the voice (of the firmament), their ancient father protects their (light-giving) work; Soma the all-developer has overspread the mighty firmament (with them); the skilful (priests) are able to conduct (the Soma) to the all-sustaining (waters). [The voice of the firmament: va_cam = voice of the firmament (or middle world) residing in the Soma; 'Soma stand in the firmament; the King Soma sit among the gandharvas'' (somo vai ra_ja_ gandharves.va_si_t) (Aitareya Bra_hman.a). The voice of the firmament is thunder, and the rays of the Soma refer to the moon or the Soma juices identified with the rain]. 9.073.04 (The Soma rays) in the firmament of a thousand streams (unite with the earth) below; in the summit of heaven, sweet-tongued, in separate drops, his rays, swiftly moving, never shut their eyes; fixed each in his place, they are the molesters (of sinners). [His rays: spas'ah = sa_rabhu_ta_ ras'mayah; or, spies; never shut their eyes: 'but always keep watch to know the evil and the good, or always keep on alert as kings to guard against enemies; fixed each in his place: 'in every place there are barriers strewn with snares (to keep off and catch the wicked or the ra_ks.asas), or, prisons filled with fetters]. 9.073.05 (The rays) which were manifested in heaven and earth, illumined by the hymn (of praise), consuming the impious (sacrificers), drive away by their wisdom from earth and heaven the black-skinned (ra_ks.asas) hated by Indra. 9.073.06 (The rays) which regulating praise and purposing rapidity of action, were manifested from the ancient firmament, them the blind and deaf avoid; the wicked traverse not the path of truth. [The blind and deaf: i.e., spiritually blind and deaf, those who do not see good objects-- those who do not hear the praise of the gods]. 9.073.07 The intelligent sages extol the voice (of the firmament) in the purifying extended (Soma) with its thousand streams; the Rudras are their servants, swift-moving, inviolable, revered, of goodly aspect, the beholders of men. [Their servants: spas'ah = va_ca_ vas'inah (obedient voices)]. 9.073.08 (Soma) the protector of the sacrifice, the doer of good deeds cannot be resisted; he places in his heart the three purifiers; he the all-wise looks over all worlds; he censures those who are hostile in action, who sacrifice not. [He places in his heart: i.e., combines in himself; the three purifiers are agni, va_yu and the sun]. 9.073.09 The threads of the sacrifice spread over the filter extends by its act to the tip of Varun.a's tongue; the wise approaching reached it;but he who is incompetent for the rite sinks (to hell) even in this world. [Varun.a's tongue: i.e., the vasati_vari_ waters, which are on the tip of Varun.a's tongue; the wise...reached it: 'it' refers to the tip of Varun.a's tongue; the wise reach it by their praises or oblations.

[Brilliant: or, swift as a horse; that nourish the kine: payovr.dha_, that feeds the milk of kine and the sap of herbs]. 9.074.02 The supporter of heaven, the prop (of the earth), the Soma-juice who, widely spreading, filling (the vessels), flows in all directions-- may he unite the two great worlds by his own strength; he has upheld them combined; (may he) the sage (bestow) food upon (his worshippers). [The prop of the earth: cf. RV. 9.089.06; may he unite: yaks.at = sam.yojayatu; a_vr.ta = by its own unaided strength]. 9.074.03 (There is) abundant food well-prepared made of Soma and sweet for (Indra) who comes to the sacrifice; the way to earth is broad; (for Indra) who is the lord of the rain (that falls) here, the possessor of cattle, the showerer of water, the leader (of the sacrifice), whose road is hither, who is deserving of praise. [Whose road is hither: i.e., to this our sacrifice]. 9.074.04 Full of sap the butter and milk is milked from heaven, the bond of the sacrifice, the water is generated; the assembled liberal givers delight him; (the Soma-juices) the leaders, the protectors shower down the accumulated (water). [The bond: na_bhih = binding; fr. nah, to bind]. 9.074.05 Combining with the wave the Soma utters a cry; he sprinkles his god-protecting body for the worshipper; he places the germ upon the lap of the earth, whereby we acquire sons and grandsons. [He sprinkles: i.e., distils into the vessels]. 9.074.06 May those (juices) which are in the third world, the world of many streams, unconnected, bestowing progeny, descend; the four digits (of the Soma) sent down from heaven bearing water bring the oblation and the nectar. [The four digits: na_bhah = rays, di_ptayah; or, digits (kalah) of the Soma; derived from na_bhas, heaven and the root nah, to bind (na_bhah = nabhaso ba_dhikah, obstructing heaven)]. 9.074.07 When the Soma seeks to gain (heaven) he assumes a white colour; showering (benefits), powerful he knows (how to bestow) abundant wealth (upon the worshippers). He by his wisdom is associated with excellent rites; he bursts asunder the rain cloud from heaven. 9.074.08 Thus the Soma successfully reaches the white water besprinkled pitcher like a horse (reaching) the goal; the devout (priests) stimulate him with their praise; (he bestows) cattle upon Kaks.i_vat who has seen a hundred winters. [Successfully reaches: sasava_n = sam.bhajan, enjoying, possessing; who has seen a hundred winters: s'atahima_ya = bahugamana_ya, i.e. one who attains many things; elsewhere, s'atahima_ya = aparimita-ka_la_, lasting for an endless time]. 9.074.09 Purified Soma, when you are diluted with the water your juice passes through the woollen fleece; cleansed by the sages, O exhilarating purified (Soma), be sweet-flavoured for Indra to drink.

[More beautiful: vapus.o vapus.t.arah = sowing seed more than any other sower of seed]. 9.077.02 The ancient (Soma) flows, which the hawk, despatched (for the purpose), brought down from heaven passing through the (third) world; he detaches the sweet-flavoured (Soma) flying downwards, with mind full of fear of the archer Kr.s'a_nu. [He detaches: sah = Soma; a reference to the hawk, who is afraid of Kr.s'a_nu, the protector of Soma.

[The sheep: i.e., the filter]. 9.078.02 You are effused by the priests, Soma, for Indra; you the observer of men, stimulated, intelligent, are immersed in the water; many are the paths for you to follow, infinite are the spreading green-tinted streams alighting on the cups. [Many are the paths for you to follow: or, 'there are ancient paths for you to go to Indra, and a thousand bay horses standing in the cups'].  9.078.03 The nymphs of the firmament seated in the midst flow towards the sagacious Soma; they cherish him the sprinkler of the hall of sacrifice; (the worshippers) solicit  Pavama_na (the undecaying) for a boon. [In the midst: in the middle of the sacrifice, i.e., in the cups]. 9.078.04 Soma flows for us, the conqueror of cattle, of chariots, of gold, of heaven, of water, of thousandfold (wealth), whom the gods have made for (their) drinking, exhilarating, most sweet-flavoured, dropping, purple, causing happiness. 9.078.05 Bestowing all these true riches, loving us you flow, Soma, purified; destroy our enemy whether he be far or nigh; grant us a free road and freedom from danger.

[The stones devour you upon the cowhide: Soma was poured out upon a black antelope's skin; but,t he Soma was measured on a cowhide for the purpose of selling]. 9.079.05 Thus, Indu, the chief (priests) making the mixture send forth your well-lodged, well-formed juice (rasa); purified Soma, destroy (our) reviler; let your potent, delightful, exhilarating (juice) appoear.
